CommentsXp Best movie ever!

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

tiffanygerstmeyr This was the worst movie I have ever seen. Everyone involved in its making should deeply reconsider their life choices as they chose to waste their time on something like this. I must now also reevaluate the time I spent watching this crap. Wow words can't even express my horror and repulsion at the lack of comedy and wit in this movie that is FAR worse than "Daybreak" aka the show they make fun of in the movie.

Python Hyena Morning Glory (2010: Dir: Roger Mitchell / Cast: Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum: Comedic drama about ideas and expression. Rachel McAdams stars as a producer of a struggling morning talk show that she would like to elevate from the bottom point just as she is in her personal life. She lands this title after being fired from her previous job. Now she must prove herself and does so by hiring a difficult news anchor to replace a previous host alongside the remaining host. Directed by Roger Mitchell who previously had success with Notting Hill, and he is backed with terrific sets and a great cast. It plays off romance in the work place in a similar way Notting Hill applied romance to show business but within a civilian outsider. McAdams is on target trying to juggle the many job demands, combating personalities and romance. She comes from a downfall but turns it around and struggles greatly to do so. What is learned here is that despite the down time hard work can pay off with great results. Harrison Ford steals the film as the difficult veteran news anchor who must learn to be a team player. Diane Keaton plays the veteran host at odds with Ford. It is terrific to see these two veteran performers argue back and forth. Only Patrick Wilson is a weak link as a romantic prop. He seems to have no other function other than to appear periodically to take McAdams to lunch and figure out how to bed her. Wilson is beyond this sort of cardboard crap. Other than that this is an engaging film about the industry up long before we're out of bed. Score: 9 ½ / 10

jb_campo OMG, how is this movie rating 6.5 on IMDb? It is horrible. I could only get less than half way thru and had to just turn it off.Rachel Adams plays this TV producer who loses her job and gets a new job revamping this other TV morning show with lots of issues. Diane keaton and Harrison Ford really lowered their career standards in this film, playing two old timers who think they are still great. Rachel Adams cutsey acting style made me sick after 10 minutes. Harrison Ford screaming yelling looking angry only went so far. Diane keaton's ditzy portrayal wore thin quickly. I can't tell you what happened in the rest of the movie because after less than an hour, I said enough! Stupid plot, bad acting. Avoid this film.

Max_in_Vienna Take a young, attractive, highly motivated would be television executive lacking any experience, add a fledging, soon to be cancelled television morning show and the following off-the-shelf characters: (1) an aging, grumpy investigative reporter past his prime, (2) a grumpy, aging talk show host equally past her prime and (3) a grumpy if not aging managing executive who, for unexplained reasons, hires our young, attractive, highly motivated but inexperienced lead as executive producer. Further add a few odd-ball straight-men for comic relief and a couple of reasonably good lines, "a couple" meaning "two", and presto: a further petri dish film is born.Given an eminently foreseeable story-line and one-dimensional characters, Ms McAdams, Mr Ford and Ms Keaton do a reasonable job attempting to breath some life into this film … but even defibrillators have a maximum setting … and for good reason; there is a point where honest attempts at resuscitation turn into superfluous and cruel mutilations of a corpse.
